Wrinkles

Question
I am a 13 year old male and I have a wrinkle on my forehead. It has been there for weeks, and my parents say it is because of my acne. I do have acne, but most of it is gone. The wrinkle is where the fold is when I raise my eyebrows. Is there anything I can do to get rid of this wrinkle, besides those wrinkle reducer thingies that you buy from the beauty store? I want it to go away, but I don't want to use any cream or anything. Will I have to, or will it go away as my acne goes away? It just keeps getting deeper. Thanks.
Answer
To be honest wrinkles, especially deep wrinkles are especially hard to reduce or get rid of. In addition, it's very rare for a 13 year old to get a wrinkle like this, and I'm not sure why your acne would have caused a wrinkle. If your skin is terribly dry then your skin will appear wrinkled or cracked but this sounds different from that. Your best option is to use a moisturizing cream, like ones at the beauty store. I also feel you may want to make a visit to a dermatologist to have your skin looked at because of the acne and also because it is rare for a 13 year old to acquire a wrinkle. Best skin care wishes.
